Great rustic tent camping

We had a great time camping at Blue Hill Acres last weekend. It was the perfect spot for our family with kids ages 9 and 13. Our son loved the stream and our daughter enjoyed checking out the horses. It was quiet and fairly secluded. Great spot for stargazing and we had a few visits from a great blue heron.

Great for our family camping trip!

We took our children, ages 6, 4, 2 and 2 months for their first Overnight camping trip and stayed on Scott’s beautiful property. We pitched our tent in the glen right next to the stream and thoroughly enjoyed our short stay. The kids loved played in the stream! We appreciated the pile of firewood Scott gave us. He’s a friendly host and responded quickly.

Rustic Camping Site.

The Creekside Nest campsite felt very secluded and tranquil. The primitive site has no bathroom facilities so be prepared. Enjoy views of the surrounding mountains and trees. A little rain water got in my tent during my stay.

We were only there to sleep for the night during a road trip, and it was perfect for that. Beautiful spot and friendly hosts! Loved the fireflies at night and dipping in the creek in the morning before getting back on the road.
